You are posting from Self-Employed software---so unless you downgrade you will pay more for your TurboTax software. That does not affect the amount you pay in income tax. You would only pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare if you actually entered the income as money earned on a 1099Misc or cash you received for working as an independent contractor.

WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY? I WANT THE FREE EDITION
The information that you can enter in Free Edition is pretty limited now. Thanks to the new tax laws that began for 2018 returns, there are no more simple Form 1040EZ or 1040A's. Everything goes on a Form 1040 that has three extra "schedules" with it, and if you need any of those schedules, you are not able to use the Free Edition. Using the standard deduction instead of itemizing does NOT mean you will not need any of those schedules.
